Yan Xia city.

Xu Chang, who was in charge of the Xu family's store, frowned deeply as she powerlessly sat on a chair in the study.

Just this morning, he had received news that the thirteen experts he had sent out had all gone missing. Not even their corpses had been found. This caused Xu Chang to be secretly alarmed.

Many of the original members of the Xu Family had been executed secretly by Xu Tong, leaving the Xu Family. Currently, less than a third of the current members of the Xu Family's Xu Family, the experts who truly belonged to the Patriarch Xu Jinxi, had actually been executed.

And during this period of time, the experts sent to investigate the forbidden area had lost over thirty people, especially this time, which had caused the loss of thirteen experts of the ninth layer. This caused Xu Chang to suddenly have a feeling that a storm was brewing.

"Someone, come!"

Xu Chang shouted, and very quickly, a man dressed as a waiter walked into the study room and asked in a low voice, "Manager Xu, what orders do you have for me?"

Although this man was dressed like a waiter, one could tell from the aura he had that he was at least at the peak of the ninth level of the martial arts.

Xu Chang's face was dark as he said: "Order it, from today onwards, all of our people will be evacuated from the forbidden area. In addition, the bounty will be increased."

"Good!" "Manager Xu, I'll be going right now!"

"I don't know what Miss is thinking. For the sake of that piece of trash, we lost so many brothers. This is a forbidden area, after hundreds of thousands of years, we haven't heard of anyone coming back alive from the forbidden area.

Xu Chang glared at the man and shouted, "Miss has her own plans, why are you blabbering on? Why aren't you rushing over to receive my orders? "

"Yes, yes, your subordinate will go right away!"

"..."

The place where Xu Fan met Liu Da Feng was about five hundred miles away from the Yan Xia city, but Xu Fan and Liu Da Feng had been walking for half a month. Firstly, it was to heal the injuries on Liu Dafeng's body. Secondly, Xu Fan was somewhat nervous, so his walking speed was naturally much slower than Liu Dafeng's.

The two of them had changed appearances. In addition, Xu Fan had chosen to travel through desolate places, and at the same time would travel day and night, avoiding most of the people searching around the forbidden area. As a result, there weren't any accidents along the way.

In the past ten days, Liu Dafeng's injuries had mostly healed. From what Liu Dafeng had said, Xu Fan had learned a lot.

On this day, the two finally walked out of the Spirit Peak Mountain Range and entered the main road.

As they got closer to the Yan Xia city, the amount of people on the main road gradually increased. There were some farmers' residences in the surroundings and even some tea houses and small restaurants on the roadside. Along the way, there were also many pedestrians and ancient carriages. These carriages might be carrying people or goods, but it was similar to the ancient costume dramas Xu Fan had seen on television in his previous life.

"Is this the world I'm about to live in?"

Xu Fan thought back to everything that had happened in the twenty-first century. He couldn't help but feel emotional, but at the same time, he felt a bit excited.

Liu Da Feng followed behind Xu Fan, completely unaware of his master's nostalgic thoughts. Seeing Xu Fan staring at the carriage, he didn't care and thought Xu Fan was tired and wanted to ride in the carriage. He whispered, "Is Young Master tired? Or I'll hire a carriage. "

"No need!"

Xu Fan shook his head. With his IQ, how could he not know what Liu Da Feng was thinking? He thought to himself that this girl seemed careless on the surface, but was actually quite cautious. After thinking for a while, he said, "Sister Da Feng, your injuries are the best, if you feel tired, then we can hire one."

"It's alright, this level of injury is nothing. Thank you for your concern, Young Master!" Liu Da Feng happily waved the spear in his hand.

Xu Fan shook his head. Although he was only seventeen years old now, in his previous life, he was already forty years old. Although Liu Da Feng was older than him, in his eyes, she was still just a little girl.

As the two of them walked, they whispered to each other. Not long after, Xu Fan finally saw the world's first ancient city — — Yan Xia City.

Yan Xia City could be considered to be an ancient city with a long history. The main structure of the castle was made from piles of rocks. The city was five to six zhang thick and was very sturdy. The walls of the castle had many battlements, and on the top platform were huge catapults and large crossbow bolts that could only be propelled by mechanical means.

Around the castle, there was also a tall watchtower. They were over 100 feet tall and had a diameter of over 20 feet. The towering watchtower, easily visible from very far away, was also the main symbol of the city.

This watchtower was set up to guard against wild beasts that would attack the city.

At this time, inside and outside of the ancient city, it was bustling with noise and excitement. Although the city gates were wide open, an endless stream of people were entering and exiting the city.

Looking at the ancient city in front of him, Xu Fan didn't know why, but he felt a bit excited.

Actually, there wasn't anything special about this Yan Xia city. Although it was similar to the ancient city Xu Fan had seen on television in his previous life, with its tall and ancient stone walls, thick city gates, and armored guards, this was still Xu Fan's first time personally witnessing something like this. Therefore, when this fellow saw Yan Xia City, he was extremely excited.

Liu Da Feng explained the basic situation of Yan Xia City to Xu Fan while walking toward Yan Xia City with Xu Fan who was curiously looking around.

There were soldiers guarding the city gate. Their eyes were sharp like lightning as they stared at every single person who entered the city, as if they were afraid that they would miss out on someone.

Xu Fan was slightly surprised. "Big Sister Feng, these soldiers aren't looking for us, are they?" he asked in a low voice.

Liu Da Feng laughed, "No, young master, you don't have to worry about that. They are just paying the city fees."

Xu Fan asked curiously, "You still have to pay a fee to enter the city?"

Liu Da Feng nodded and said, "The soldiers of the Yan Xia city have no salary. The income of these soldiers is mainly dependent on the entry fee. It's fine for those who leave the city, but for those who enter, they have to pay 10 copper coins each. "Not only that, those who brought the vehicles or carried the burden into the city paid even more copper coins."

While speaking, Liu Da Feng skillfully took out twenty copper coins and gave it to the soldier guarding the gate. Then, he led Xu Fan directly into Yan Xia City.

After entering the city, the scene immediately changed.

Xu Fan discovered that the streets of the city were all paved with almost identical sized green stone slabs, making them seem very neat and ancient.

The city was ancient and had many small squares and tall buildings.

The ground of the main road was covered with a variety of black and white stones, forming various patterns. According to Liu Dafeng, no other city within a thousand miles could achieve such a feat.
